Sarens, a global leader in crane rental, heavy lifting, and engineered transport, has ordered two additional Spierings eLift mobile tower cranes, expanding its eLift fleet to ten units. The order includes a Spierings SK1265-AT5 eLift and a SK1265-AT6 eLift.
This investment supports Sarens’ sustainability strategy, aimed at structurally reducing CO₂ emissions without compromising operational performance. Sarens has been operating electric Spierings eLift cranes for nearly five years, achieving up to 92% fuel reduction compared to conventional mobile tower cranes. This not only reduces environmental impact but also delivers significant cost savings, especially given current fuel prices.
The Spierings SK1265-AT5 eLift, the latest generation mobile tower crane, offers a maximum lifting capacity of 10 tonnes, a 60-metre jib, and a 1.7-tonne tip load. Its compact 5-axle design ensures compliance with various European road regulations, including those in France. The integrated eLift system enables fully emission-free operation when connected to a 16A or 32A mains supply, supported by a PowerPack that absorbs peak power demand. When grid power is unavailable, the crane can operate fully electrically for up to three hours using its battery, which can then be recharged via the onboard generator.
With this latest order, Sarens further strengthens its position as a frontrunner in sustainable lifting solutions. At the same time, it reinforces Spierings’ leadership in the development of fully mobile, battery-powered tower crane technology.
Jan L. Sarens
“At Sarens, we deliberately invest in technologies that already help our customers operate more sustainably today. In practice, the Spierings eLift cranes have proven that emissions reduction and high performance go hand in hand. By expanding our fleet to ten eLift cranes, we are strengthening our ability to offer customers across Europe efficient and future-ready lifting solutions.”
Marc Sarens
“For us, sustainability is not a long-term promise, but a concrete choice in our daily operations. The results we have achieved with the eLift cranes confirm that electrification through the Spierings eLift concept is a realistic and scalable alternative for daily crane operations. This new order is therefore a logical next step.”
Jeroen Kerkhoff of Spierings:
“We are proud that Sarens has once again chosen Spierings eLift technology. The fact that a leading international player is expanding its fleet to ten eLift cranes underlines the confidence in our innovation and in the real-world performance of our machines. The SK1265-AT5 eLift and SK1265-AT6 eLift combine maximum mobility, strong lifting performance, and emission-free operation on site.”
This latest expansion builds on the strong momentum of previous years. In 2024, Sarens already expanded its eLift fleet to eight units with additional Spierings cranes, underlining the growing demand for electric lifting solutions and the proven performance of the eLift concept.
